A large part of the frustration with disaster rounds seems to be that it cuts various antagonist's rounds short, how about just making the previous round's antags antags again in the disaster round? That would also make the disaster round more interesting for experienced players than just hunkering down and killing critters.
Alternatively, because it cuts rounds short for normal crew too, what if it just did something ominous but less conspicuous when the puzzle is completed, to show that sol has been done, but still waits until the shuttle flight. Then during the shuttle flight there is a whole sun-space, screen-shake thing and then the disaster round starts? Sort of like the Shuttle crashing because of the events. That would allow players to play out the previous round before the disaster round starts while retaining some of the mystery of a round suddenly getting cut short for new players (seeing as it would be mid shuttle ride and one would never reach centcomm).
The only issue I see with this is the end of round stats not getting shown, but maybe those could be backed up on goonhub somewhere for each round anyway?
It seems like a good feature to be able to look that up for each round even after it happened.
